As I step into my new role as Principal in 2025, I am excited to become part of this school community. I bring with me the experience of leading Manakau School for the past 9 years, and I see many similarities between our two schools: a rich history, strong community connections, and students who are friendly, welcoming, and eager to learn.

We have a dedicated team here at Fairfield School that works hard to create and support programs designed to help our students succeed — whether on the sports field, in the classroom, or in how they relate to one another. It’s a joy to see our students actively engaged in their learning, expressing their creativity, and sharing their ideas and aspirations for the future. They demonstrate respect for themselves — mana motuhake, for others — manaakitanga, and for the environment — kaitiakitanga, which are our school’s core values.

I am looking forward to the journey ahead and what we will achieve together. This is an open invitation for you to be an active part of our school’s progress. Your involvement is valued, and I’m excited to see what we can accomplish as a community.
